Do women lie about their number of sexual partners?

For me numbers didn't really matter. I've been trying to count mine for the last 15 minutes and I really can't remember. If she said there has been only 1 lover, yet she screwed him over 500 times in 2 years, does that compare to 20 guys that she had sex 25 times? I'm more interested in her retelling her story of those memorable times, with details of course.
 
I have always thought it was tacky to ask. If someone wants to share something with you, that's fine, but why does it matter? The important thing is they are with you now. Enjoy that they want you in this moment.
I just wanted my late wife to tell me all her sexy stories. Lol
 
People will lie about anything that forces them to face uncomfortable realities. Perceived judgment or objectification over the number of sexual partners is one example.
 
I don't lie, but I have seriously lost count. 😆
I can count the number of females I've been sexual with on one hand..
But men? It's in the 2 digits.. 😂
 
As always, I think the answer is "it depends" both on the relationship and the number. I'm pretty sure both my wives were fairly honest; when we got together my first told me she'd only been with one guy before me and, based on the learning curve and her general naivety, I'm prepared to believe her (I suppose it could have been a couple but definitely wasn't loads). My second (and current) wife is a good girl and very monogamous, so again I believe her number. Both of them brought the subject up, in different ways, the first it was kinda "I'm a bit unsure and please be gentle" the second was a conversation about a friend's husband who was a serial adulterer and lead into "how many people have you slept with?" after she said hers was three, before me, I felt pressured to downplay my number. Figuring that she knew about three ex-lovers (including my wife) I said four, before her, when the actual number is ten (so I'm not any sort of stud but have to remember what I said in case she asks again :ROFLMAO:).
 
I don’t, but I also don’t count. There are only a few that seemed to stand out.
It doesn’t really seem to matter, with each new person, there is a new equation.
 
I used to know a guy who only counted sex within relationships, but not one night stands, I was amused.

True. Also, I'm happy if someone finds any kind of satisfaction in a personal record of some sort, or a minimum number. I don't care. Quality over quantity. Always.
 
Her body count before the relationship never meant a damn thing to me. But I would share my count honestly if asked. Likewise, her body count during a marriage/LTR only mattered when we agreed on monogamy.

My wife and I were faithful during our marriage before my stroke and for a while after. But the effects of the stroke left my sexual functioning unimpaired, but limited my choice of activities and positions. Some things she craved were no longer on the list of things I could do physically. I knew what she craved before the stroke that I could no longer do.

My failure was in not proactively saying what I was willing to say if she'd asked. "For any need I can't meet, you have my permission to have other partners who can meet that need." There was a restriction that she choose someone clean and safe, and she told me about it. The identity of the partner and the details of the encounter were matters of her free choice, whether or not she shared them with me.

Her failure was in going outside the marriage behind my back, while swearing that what I was still able to do was enough. I felt cheated on. Had she asked, I would have had the satisfaction of meeting her needs if only by proxy.

Neither of us owned up to our respective failures that drove the final nail in our marriage's coffin.
